{{no footnotes|date=July 2014}}
The Wu–Yang monopole was the first solution (found in 1968 by Tai Tsun Wu and Chen Ning YangWu, T.T. and Yang, C.N. (1968) in Properties of Matter Under Unusual Conditions, edited by H. Mark and S. Fernbach (Interscience, New York)) to the Yang–Mills field equations. It describes a magnetic monopole which is pointlike and has a potential which behaves like 1/r everywhere.
